Abstract
Lymphocyte migration is activated in response to inflammation and largely depends on the modulation of actin dynamics, and remodelling of the cytoskeleton, following cytokine stimulation. A novel pathway modulating inflammatory-cell migration in vivo that involves the unlikeliest of partners, the inflammatory caspase-11 and Aip1 (an activator of cofilin-mediated actin depolymerization), has been identified.
